When it comes to futuristic concepts, few ideas have captured the imagination like pen-based computing. The idea of doing away with a cumbersome keyboard for navigating and entering information has long been a Holy Grail, but it has met with little success. Microsoft's Tablet PC operating system has failed to take the world by storm, and lots of platforms -- from the Momenta PC to Pen Windows, and from the Newton to PalmPilots -- have come and gone while failing to shift the masses from their keyboards. Even PDAs and smart phones have shifted from being poster children for pen-based platforms to adopting tiny keyboards for text entry.</p></blockquote>Link:Don't Give Up on Pen Computing - Computerworld.
I look forward to the day when we not only can do away with our mini-keyboards, I look forward to a day when we can do away with our stylii. I am sure one day speech to text will be perfected to the point where it will be most efficient to simply "tell" your Pocket PC what to do instead of tap/typing it.
